[QUOTE="LRNut, post: 1944814, member: 3230"] With RFs the concept of zeroing at 300 and "holding a bit low at 200" is really a bad idea. Most animal are shot at less than 200, so why not set up for that? That said, I zero at 500 only on a windless day (always in the morning). This helps a bit with spindrift. At the same time, create a ballistic profile in my SIG 2400 for that rifle with a 200 yard zero but with a windage offset such that my windage impact at 500 with zero wind is perfect. I then note my drop in MOA on the SIG for 500, then set my scope turret such that it matches. For example, the last rifle I did this for was a 28 Nosler; at 500 it is 6.25 MOA low at 500, so I set the elevation turret to 6.25. When hunting, I turn it down to zero, so I am effectively zeroed at 200. [/QUOTE]
